Chris Berman to call Raiders season-opener

ESPN confirmed a report from SportsByBrooks that Chris Berman will call his first NFL regular season game as a play-by-play announcer during the Monday Night Football Week 1 nightcap between the Raiders and the Chargers.

Some people (not mentioning any names, not looking in the mirror) don’t do well with listening to “Boomer” Berman, but if it’s on the anchor man’s bucket list to call a game, who is anyone to argue with that? Right?

Trent Dilfer will be Berman’s color man; Brad Nessler and Dilfer worked the game last year.
